We need to face the reality that there can be coordinated flagging that is designed to wedge an ideological bent into the flow of the conversation. It's perhaps just as likely that these high-karma users would become the "coordinators" of "ideological wedging" imo. I don't agree with your idea, and I think one or a handful of lost potential discussions is totally fine given the pretty stellar level of discussion that is the norm here. Most specifically, I don't think it helps a lot to know who flagged something. It's likely an extremely small subset of users are the ones flagging things, regardless of whether that implies any coordination or agenda. Dang said that something like < 10% of users ever contribute any type of comment. In my time here, I may have flagged something once or twice, but I've made hundreds of comments (across a few accounts). If I'm correct, then you would only see a handful of users flagging things, and that would just be normal--not the result of coordination or malice.
